The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Then Donald Trump congratulated ‘the Great State of Kansas’
He later deleted the message.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump fumbled his congratulatory tweet following the Super Bowl.
On the heels of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 31-20 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Trump tweeted his congratulations to the Chiefs for a “fantastic comeback.” He added: “You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU!”
Although the Missouri-Kansas state line divides metropolitan Kansas City, the team itself is based on the Missouri side.
The president’s tweet was quickly deleted and later replaced with a new message: “We are proud of you and the Great State of Missouri. You are true Champions!”
